A recipe for real change and transformation
Mankind has made huge progress, but even if we manage to put a man on Mars soon, the most important problem we face in our lifetime is much closer to home, and it’s by far the hardest nut to crack yet.
When it comes to the state of the world, every sane person will agree that, even though as a species we are capable of so many great things, we are yet unable to create a safe, happy and sustainable life-situation for everyone on earth.
Why is it so hard? Do we lack the means? We used to, but not anymore, especially with all the technological advancements in the last decades. And there’s the thing: our society relies heavily on technology, and although technology is helpful and useful, it will not solve this particular problem. In fact, technology probably has done more to enhance wars and other kinds of conflicts, than to bring us closer together, or offering a viable solution for our situation.
We need an actual transformation
Should we be worried? Frankly, Yes! But that does not mean we should be desperate, and it definitely doesn’t mean we should sit still and wait for something to happen. What makes this particular problem so difficult is that, instead of a mere change, we will need a complete transformation. Unfortunately, we are not going to transform our current situation through political change, or through a change in the economic and monetary systems.
Understand that our current political, economic and monetary systems are merely means or tools that were chosen for a particular state that humanity has outgrown at this point in history. But if they are the tools that accompany the state of humanity, we ourselves are the actual motor and cause behind everything that’s going right and wrong within those systems. Therefore, the solution to our problem can be found within each and every one of us, because that is where the current problem was created and is still maintained today.
The benefits
Now, don’t get all spooked. There is nothing to be alarmed about when it comes to changing that. Anyone who is willing to change his or her life for the better will be able to make this transformation happen and benefit from it in the process. It would simply mean that you would be sacrificing what is bad for you anyway and as a consequence, you will feel relieved, liberated and more in control than ever. Wouldn’t that be an improvement by itself?
It’s the current lack of control over our own inner lives, our own reactions and interactions, that is keeping us locked in this unhealthy and damaging state of mind. A state of mind that creates our personal, tailor-made suffering, and the suffering of the vast majority of humans in the world today. A state of mind that makes us malleable, manipulable, fearful and prone to a wide range of addictions. It also makes many of us feel lonely, separated and powerless and enslaves many people into believing that there is no other way and no way out.
The Prison
In the words of Morpheus in the movie ‘The Matrix’: “… a prison that you cannot taste or see or touch. A prison for your mind.” Of course, I am not saying that you are a battery, but we ourselves are the ones who maintain this world in the state that it is today by staying trapped in our learned state of mind. This is not our natural state and it wasn’t our state when we were born. Instead, it’s taught to us and learned from an early age, but it can also be unlearned. However, as long as we are still caught in this mind-web (or mind-trap) that is created from the moment we enter our lives as infants, we will never be able to transform anything.
As long as I can remember I have been searching for ways to make this transformation happen, but it was not until recently that I realized where the key to real change could be found. It took me several crises and burnouts over the years before I finally stumbled into the answers, but it was worth the waiting and stumbling. Unfortunately, I am unable to explain in a single article, that which took me decades to discover and understand, so I wrote it down in a book, titled ‘You can be the Guru!’.
Making life easier
Change is never easy, and real transformations go even deeper, but the transformation described in ‘You can be the Guru!’ is aimed at making your life easier. Your life will become more meaningful, peaceful, joyful and you will learn to leave all kinds of fears, insecurities and (unconsciously) self-inflicted suffering behind.
